Capsman wrongly provisions CAPs

Wed Nov 21, 2018 5:50 pm

Hi,

I have an issue with capsman.
Version 6.43.4.
I have around 180 CAPs with identities 1,2,3 etc.
In capsman i have a provision rule like this:
add action=create-dynamic-enabled identity-regexp=”1” master-configuration=cfg1 slave-configurations=cfg2 name-format=identity
add action=create-dynamic-enabled identity-regexp=”2” master-configuration=cfg1 slave-configurations=cfg3 name-format=identity
add action=create-dynamic-enabled identity-regexp=”3” master-configuration=cfg1 slave-configurations=cfg4 name-format=identity
etc
but for example when I connect CAP no 169 it shows under cap interfaces at 169 but gets provisioned as 69.
I tried 113 and was working properly and then 179 was working incorrectly again (provisioned as 79).

What am I missing here?
 
whatever

Well, regex "79" does indeed match "179", etc., so the result you are experiencing is expected.
Try using "^" and "$" in your regexes to match beginning and end of your identity strings.

Thanks! The little change with ^ seems to fix the issue!
add action=create-dynamic-enabled identity-regexp=”^1” master-configuration=cfg1 slave-configurations=cfg2 name-format=identity
add action=create-dynamic-enabled identity-regexp=”^2” master-configuration=cfg1 slave-configurations=cfg3 name-format=identity
add action=create-dynamic-enabled identity-regexp=”^3” master-configuration=cfg1 slave-configurations=cfg4 name-format=identity
One more question.
Is there a way to provision CAPs by serial number (since it's the only barcode on hAP box or device itself)?
Or any way to set an serial number as identity with a script / command?

Changing identity to serial number via script should be possible.

First become familiar with this link1.
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Scripting

Your exam will be in three days, if you fail, you have to send me chocolate (or whatever is the quality output of your region/area ( hopes he/she is not in farm country famous for its natural fertilizer ;-) )

Otherwise with your new found knowledge you can start to peruse all the threads and learn through the examples of others.
